From the East

By Brian Ross — Master

Brothers, Families and Friends:

Well, COVID-19 is almost in our rear-view mirror, but the Grand Master has set forth a couple of mandates that we must follow when meeting.  If you are vaccinated, you are not required to wear a mask when attending events at the Lodge.  However, the unvaccinated MUST wear a mask - there are no exceptions.

February was Masonic Widows Month, and my heartfelt thanks goes out to Paul Rodriguez-O'Brien, PM, Phil Busch, HA, Aaron Johnson and Tramaine Ellison for personally delivering flowers and gift cards to the widows on February 19th.  Good work brothers!

Superbowl Party - we held a Super Bowl viewing party with scotch and cigars on February 13th at the Lodge - 25 of us hung out and watched a whale of a game.   

First Degrees - the Lodge conferred four first degrees this month and as a result, welcomed Jake Andreotti, Jesse Bridgeman, Steven Dorough and Felipe Castellanos as the newest members of our lodge.  We look forward to observing their Masonic journeys in the coming months/years.

Breakfast with the Brothers - As usual, the brothers met at Norman's on February 19th for our monthly breakfast - boy what a meal and a good time the ten of us had!

Crab/Shrimp feed - Our crab/shrimp feed is on February 26th and sold out to 100 attendees.  We will be conducting a raffle in support of our youth groups during the feed.   

Let's keep this momentum moving forward and have a heck of a time in 2022 before blowing the top off the building in our 100th year- 2023!
